Poor circulation can cause:

  • Persistent coldness in one or both feet

  • Temperature difference between limbs

  • Pale or bluish skin tone

Reduced oxygen supply affects nerve function.

Symptoms may include:

  • Pins and needles sensation

  • Numb toes

  • Burning discomfort

  • Hypersensitivity

Although diabetes is a common cause of nighttime numbness, vascular narrowing can produce similar symptoms.
